Congratulations to everyone who got their GCSE results this week. Even though Parliament is in recess I have used Zoom calls with the ministers for schools and universities to share the experiences of students and schools who faced many injustices under the initial grading system.

So I welcome reverting to grades based on centre assessed grades for A levels, AS levels, GCSEs. Results for vocational qualifications have been paused to make sure everyone gets the right grades - while I appreciate the last minute delay is very frustrating it is important that everyone gets the right result. 

As well as education, this week I was on Radio Norfolk talking about my support for letting fans back into non-league football grounds. Slightly odd to do the interview in the back of a camper van (see below)!

Eat Out to Help Out comes to an ends in just over a week. I hope you’ve taken advantage of the scheme and encourage everyone to keep supporting our restaurants, pubs, and cafes as we continue the economic recovery. 

Please do get in touch if I can be of assistance.

Best wishes,
